Google Voice Now Works WIth Existing Mobile Numbers

Posted by timothy on Tuesday October 27, 2009 @05:03AM from the me-talk-garbly-one-day dept.

IP-192.com was one of several readers to note that Google Voice users can now utilize their existing mobile phone number for collecting voice messages instead of applying for a Google Voice number. From the post at the Google Voice blog: "Up until now, if you wanted to use Google Voice, you needed to choose a new number. Taking calls through your Google number allows us to offer features like call recording, call screening and getting text messages via email." Not all features (like conference calling) are available to those bringing their own number, but voice messages by email is my favorite feature.

'Wake me up when Google voice is available outside the US.'
Well, your messages might be available pretty much everywhere:
